Neptune Diving

PADI provides PADI Members with complete curricula and training materials for a variety of experience programs and certification, from introductory programs, such as Discover Scuba Diving, to leadership level training such as Divemaster. PADI Specialty Instructors may offer courses that allow divers to further pursue their diving interests. PADI Members who qualify as Emergency First Response Instructors may offer integrated CPR and first aid courses to divers and members of the public who wish to learn the basic skills of emergency patient care. PADI programs are performance-based, which allows students to progress at their own pace. Students begin diver training by using PADIs independent study materials and continue learning under the guidance of an instructor. Recognized for effectiveness and instructional integrity, PADI programs are recommended for college credit by the American Council on Educations College Credit Recommendation Service (formerly ACE / PONSI) and the Canadian Open Learning Agencys Credit Review Service (Learning Bank). PADI courses are also recognized by the Vocational Education Training and Accreditation Board (VETAB) in Australia, and may result in New Zealand Qualification Authority Unit Standards when delivered through accredited delivery sites.
